-
- Have you ever gotten tired of going
- assign sys: whatever:
- assign c: sys:c
- assign devs: sys:devs
- assign s: sys:s
- ...
- ...
- in order to avoid "Please insert ..." requesters? Well, here's something
- that will help; a little program that reassigns SYS:, C:, S:, L:, LIBS:,
- DEVS:, and FONTS: all in one step.
-
- If you're a floppy oriented user, you can use it to painlessly transfer your
- base of operations from one bootable disk to another; if you're a hard disk
- user, you can use it to simplify and perhaps speed up your startup-sequence.
- It does not change your current directory. Note that the "pure" bit is set;
- you can make it resident if you want.
-
- You just give the command MoveSys in CLI followed by the name of the
- directory you want SYS: to be assigned to, like this:
-
- 1> movesys dh0:
- or 1> movesys "workbench 1.3:"
-
- The quotes in that second case are optional. The thing you assign SYS: to
- need not be a root directory, as long as it has the subdirectories c, s, l,
- libs, devs, and fonts. It returns 5 (WARN) if any of the names other than
- SYS: couldn't be found, or 10 it it couldn't find the new SYS: or if it
- fails more drastically, with a message explaining any failure.
